Re^4: Intro to plotting with perl

I don't see anything extraneous or any garbage.

How do strict.pm, warnings.pm, and IO/Handle.pm help plot a graph? Why is Perl 5.10 necessary? All that is superstitious, useless programming.

No, strictures at least are a life saving mantra, least least for those of us who are less than perfect. Sure, if you never write a bad line of code or mistype a variable name you don't need the early heads up that such helpers and rote coding practises provide, but there are precious few who are in that fortunate position and those few are exceedingly unlikely to include anyone looking for help.
